Whatever you do don't get the adjustable upper ball joint ones, I had a friend who had a set and when driving at 40+ the SOB popped out and the whole driver side came crashing down. Go with the the ones that replace your stock anchor bolts, there more adjustable, but you might have to do some grinding to the inner fender lip to get the upper ball joint to tuck up underneath, that is if your slamming it more then 2 inches.

I am getting ready to install some balljoint type camber adjusters, but haven't heard anything bad about them before this, has anyone else experienced this problem of them popping out? thanks

Umm, well, your friend didn't install or get them installed right.

I bought SPC Udjustable Upper Balljoints for my 91 HB. I installed them and they work great. By great I mean no problems and they do their job. I did have to cut into the engine bay for clearance issues, I'm dropped 3", but you'd have to do that with any camber kit if you go that low. Your friends balljoint came apart because the nut on the top wasn't fully tightened.

I can't recall what brand they were, but they were installed on an 91 crx si. And the reason it broke was cause the bolt snapped apart, not because it wasn't tight enough.

I used the Ingalls kit on my crx and it worked pretty well... tough to adjust those suckers when its on the alignment rack though. It took a bit of trial and error and was a little time consuming to get them set right. Its almost easiest to remove the upper arm from the shock tower, adjust them a little, and reinstall.
